The US Supreme Court has overturned Roe v Wade, removing American women's constitutional right to have an abortion. It wasn't exactly a surprise - the draft opinion was leaked 2 months ago - but when it was announced it was met with huge disappointment by campaigners for access to the services and celebration by those opposed to abortion. So in this Squiz Shortcut, we take a look at what led to the Supreme Court’s decision, what it means for reproductive rights in the US, and where Australia's at on the issue.
